Ki-Jana Carter: Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals selected Carter with the first overall pick in the 1995 draft, and the Rose Bowl MVP failed to live up to the hype once he became a professional.

Carter had a stellar career at Penn State, but for the Bengals he tore a knee ligament in his first preseason game in his rookie year, and he managed to average a mere 3.6 yards throughout his professional career.

Honorable mention for Bengals draft day busts: quarterback Akili Smith, who was drafted in 1999 and managed to only play in 22 NFL games.

Tim Couch: Cleveland Browns

Quarterback Tim Couch was selected No. 1 overall by the Cleveland Browns in the 1999 draft.

Once he was a Brown, Couch's inconsistent play and injuries delivered Cleveland the opposite of what it was hoping for when it drafted the former Kentucky QB.

Through five seasons with the Browns, Couch had 67 interceptions and 37 fumbles. At the age of 30, he attempted a comeback with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but steroid and HGH allegations were brought against him. Couch denied them, but he was ultimately cut by the Jaguars.

Overall, definitely not the career teams are hoping for when they select a player with the No. 1 overall draft pick.
